4.12. Fire Mode
When the digital input programmed as FIRE MODE is activated, all the protecting functions of the drive are ignored, so
that no alarm trips when the drive is operating.
CAUTION
The Fire Mode function must be used only when it is strictly necessary, such as in
fire pumps, to protect human lives.
This function must never be used to prevent alarms from tripping in domestic or
industrial applications.
NOTE
To activate the parameters relating to the Fire Mode, enter the Password in the PRODUCT
MENU.
This Password is provided by Elettronica Santerno’s Service Department. The drive Serial
Number is required (see the Serial Number parameter in the PRODUCT MENU).
The following parameters can be accessed only after entering the Password enabling the Fire Mode:
• P032 Acceleration Ramp in Fire Mode (see the RAMPS MENU)
• P033 Deceleration Ramp in Fire Mode (see the RAMPS MENU)
• P099 Speed Fire Mode (see the MULTISPEED MENU)
• C186 MDI Enabling Fire Mode (see the DIGITAL INPUTS MENU)
The Fire Mode is enabled when closing the MDI set through C186. The drive will use the speed reference set in P099
and the ramp times set in P032, P033. All alarms will be ignored, except for the following:
IGBT Hardware Side A, general alarm
DC-bus voltage exceeding Vdc_max
Hardware Fault from IGBT Drive, side A
Hardware Overcurrent, side A
Hardware Failure, Side A IGBT cannot be fired
When the Fire Mode is active, innumerable alarm autoresets are automatically enabled.
CAUTION
If an asterisk (*) appears next to INVERTER OK on the display, the product guarantee
is no longer valid.
The asterisk appears if at least one condition requiring the activation of a protection
feature occurs when the inverter is running in Fire Mode.
